On Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013 LatinTRENDS magazine celebrated success, awarded excellence and acknowledged integrity during the Twelfth Annual Latino Trendsetter Awards & Scholarship Gala, a benchmark celebration, held at The Metropolitan Pavilion, in New York City’s trendy Chelsea district.

“I started these awards twelve years ago because I wanted to create a platform in which we could highlight people and recognize their work and achievements, and celebrate their successes. These are people that have real-life situations like so many of us, and I felt everyone needed to hear these stories,” said Juan Guillen, LatinTRENDS founder & CEO. “Trendsetters are men and woman who face obstacles and do not run away from them, and they do it with grace. We need to do these awards for our next generation of Latino Trendsetters so that they know how much we appreciate their daily struggles, perseverance and successes.”

Delta Airlines received the Corporate Company of the Year Award for its commitment to excellence, being a solid corporate citizen and its proven track record of success in recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce and supporting Hispanic community initiatives. NY1 Noticias received the Media Company of The year award for its ten years of brining up to the minute news and informing New York’s Latino Community.
